I would also like to add that I have spent a SIGNIFICANT amount of time researching Trent, listening to Trent, watching Trent and reading Trent.

He is one of the select few artists whom I've really felt a deep connection to.

Y'all are typing him from a distance and hence are producing inaccurate assessments of his personality and type.

i don't feel any connection to trent reznor because I DON'T KNOW HIM. none of us do. we are all typing him at a distance. we are speculating. sometimes it can be a fun discussion but evidently it has spiraled into a petty argument where everybody invokes some "deeper understanding" of trent reznor. ugh.

are you referring to the "reznor entp" google search? not sure if that convinces me. i wouldn't think needing to see people after being holed up in a studio for months at a time necessarily means you are an extrovert either. i'm definitely an introvert and sometimes i need to be around people, part of being human.

i also am not so convinced on the P. his work ethic and perfectionism seems like a J trait. a quote from someone he worked with in a studio prior to NIN:

"so focused in everything he [did]. When that guy waxed the floor, it looked great."

i can't imagine an NP being "focused". they are usually too busy daydreaming to be bothered to wax a floor to perfection. i realize this is only one quote and it's a bit naive to extrapolate so much but it seems to be the same way he works with NIN. tireless, focused... true perfectionist. endlessly layering samples. again, INTPs can definitely get into the uber-focused mode and work tirelessly at something they are interested in so you never know. it's hard to make guesses like these without really knowing the person, just the art... but that's what makes this so fun.

Pfft!!!

NP geniuses experience flow where they can spend hours on end "in the zone" without realizing how much time, days, weeks have passed while they were in this trance-like, uber-focused mode.

I don't "know" Bukowski, Ani DiFranco, J.D. Salinger, Chuck Palahniuk, M.C. Escher, Shakespeare, Slug from Atmosphere, Lucretius, etc. but I do *know* them through their work.

Why do you think artists and writers produce work?

TO EXPRESS/SHARE THEIR PERSPECTIVES!!!!!

I owe my life to people that I "don't know" according to you because I have never physically met them.

Lol, laughable man.

metaphysical connections aside you don't know them. you may feel like you just really "get" trent reznor because you listen to his music and it really strikes a chord with you and all that jazz... but ultimately, KNOWING someone, knowing who they are enough to know their type, takes a little bit more than listening to some songs and watching some interviews on youtube.

if you want to argue for his type make a better case for it than that.

So would you say someone's personality doesn't show through their work, art, how they carry themselves, what they say...etc..?

if you bothered to read my posts you would see that i mentioned that. i was basing that comment on my own experiences as an INTP. i know i generally don't have what it takes to be very focused on a job but sometimes i manage to pull it off if it's something that interests me... but even then it's rare. NPs are much better at coming up with plans than implementing them. but you already know that.

ugh, maybe i went overboard. it does to an extent. we can sit here speculating based on his music and art etc... what type he seems to be. i just can't buy all these "i know trent reznor better" claims to refute my ideas. none of us know him. we are just SPECULATING. frustrating.
